Let's Go There Together

Chapter 27

Perrie's POV

I woke up the next morning not feeling well, to be exact, my heart didn't. There was no sign of Zayn. You miss him, Perrie, but that doesn't mean you want him back. He didn't respect you. Breakups hurt, but loosing someone who doesn't respect and appreciate you is actually a gain, not a loss.

When I was washing my face, I took a look in the mirror to find my eyes red and swollen. It was regrettable, crying for someone who despises you. No way I was holding it for longer, I started to cry, not believing everything is over. Is it even true Zayn's lips won't be touching mine again? Is it true I won't hear his angelic voice whispering 'I love you's in my ear again? Is it true he's not mine anymore? Is it all over? Deep in my thoughts and out of nowhere, my phone popped for a notification, there was an email from Mr Michel. 'I'm so sorry for what it seemed like to leave Amsterdam earlier but here is a good new: to recuperate what I've done to you, and the you can take two days out of your week in Tokyo free, you'll be doing whatever you want. Happy for you! Enjoy you both!' This will be even worse than I expected it to be. Is this supposed to lighten my mood.. This made it worse.

Suddenly, the door was opened quietly and, Zayn, followed by awkwardness, came in. He was dressed and had his camera with him. He looked at me for a second before he broke the eye contact and kept looking at the floor " I already visited Zōjō-ji, you can go take the notes whenever you want." And walked to his laptop, leaving me mouth dropped. Expected from a Capricorn. I said nothing but grabbed my clothes, angrily, to get ready. Angrily because, what in the name of God is this? This is a feelingless and cold human, he could have tried to fix anything if he wanted to? Oh gosh, I forgot, I'm the one who's supposed to try anything because I am the one who messed everything up.

Zayn's POV

When I opened the door, guilt rushed through my body. Seeing her, with red eyes, being the most obvious thing when you face her. She cried because of me. I exaggerated, I shouldn't have done all of this. She got jealous and she forgave, now it's my turn and I showed one of my worst sides. I already knew she had problems toward men and they will get bigger, she may get even more depressed and more introvert and she may do something even worse. Stupid.

When I remembered why I came in, why I got out, I looked at the floor breaking this eye contact. I wanted to ignore her, she's had already to much attention and care. But, I could see weakness when I saw her first. She got her clothes and slammed the bathroom door shut and, followed by a loud sound of sob. What have I done..

Perrie's POV

I visited Zōjō-ji, a Buddhist temple, the Great Main Temple of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism. The founder of Zōjō-ji was Yūyo Shōsō. this compound includes ornate buildings dating to the 1600s. Great local temple with the best Tokyo Tower views! Zozoji is surrounded by a lovely park and offers great views on Tokyo Tower. The contrast between the temple and the tower is spectacular.
